I currently have 2x dell e248wfp 24" monitors. they are a few years old but work perfectly however i was thinking about upgrading to a U3011 30" monitor.

Am i able to run the 30" monitor in the middle of a 3 screen setup and have it as the main screen for when im gaming etc? i also do alot of 3D cad/animating work so id like to try and keep the extra screens if possible (if not ill just bit the bullet and get 2 on them and run 2x30" u3011)

They will all set to the same resolution (limited by the 24" monitors) and it would look horrible.

Technically he can do eyefinity, but it's just not worth it to even try it. It's horrible with that mixed of a setup.

Eh, I'd still try it. I can't imagine the u3011 looks THAT bad at 1920x1200. He asked if the setup would work, and it would. Even if it isn't the BEST setup, there's still nothing keeping him from trying it

edit: Either way it sounds like he is more concerned with gaming on only the center monitor anyway, and just extending the desktop on the other 2. So no matter what, yes he can definitely do that and it would work great. I still say try out eyefinity for gaming though if you get the monitor!!Edited by sublimejhn - 5/7/11 at 3:44am

The size difference is the biggest issue. That's why it would look like crap. It wouldn't even be decent. It'd be crap to play eyefinty on that. Extended desktop, still fine though.
